I made a lot of progress last night. It was a beautiful night to work outside. so, I pulled it outside last night.
I had two cracks which was to be expected with this extent of fiberglass work, all of which were just from lack of material.
Everything should be done shrinking from the 9 months of just sitting in primer so i have went back through and blocked everything last night.
addressed a few "sink holes" and fixed all the pinholes as well.




After a hard night work I sit here in this lawn chair drinking a beer and admiring the curves and profile of the car. There is so much to like about it.

Tomorrow the plan is to get the last coat of primer on the repair issues and start on finishing up the body work on the rocker panels and addressing the lower quarter panel and door gap.

Made some major progress over the weekend.
Lotus Lazer blue is the color and it has Great flop and by that I mean it has great Highlights and lowlights with such a variance in color. It was cloudy and rainy when i took the photos so they really dont do justice for the color.

Fenders and doors still need a little finessing before paint.
Now I dont Need any haters about spraying pannels at seperate times..
Ive split it up where even if there is a color difference it wont be noticable.

now for the fun part.





I cant even gather words for how amazing this turning out.
We are still on track for the 35. Its going to be cut very close though.
Wish me luck.

Just discovered this thread. I REALLY like what you've done with the blue car. I think you accomplished exactly what you were trying to do - it's very subtle and an updated look. I especially like the hood extractor and your solution of using a wing stand. I may have to do something similar. You mentioned you needed to trim the trunk lip about an inch - would that have been necessary if the cut had been further forward, or the opening less deep?

Again, great work!

Ok so its time to update a little. I have been absent form PFF for a while and some have you have followed me on facebook until I Removed social media from my life. New job new email so I have lost my User name for now

as you know we made it to the 35th back in august with both the orange car and the blue wide body. Im sure those of you who saw the Wide body in Peoria you may have noticed that it wasn't 100% Complete. It still sits in the same state body wise but it now has a VW Vr6 Turbo I can see if I can get chris to update the engine swap to the VR6.
The Kansas City Fiero Owners Group was selected to Display our cars at the Kansas City Auto Show. We Represented the Kansas City Automotive Museum along with some other exquisite Cars.

Since the 35th I started on a new project for a new client. our goal really was just a fastback conversion and a freshin up with the paint.
I Explained to my client that I have had a vision for a front bumper that I would like to attempt but I just never have had the opportunity to create my vision.
We struck a deal and so I began my Creation. The next couple posts are old and forgive me if you have already viewed this on face book but I want to document the build.

Here is my starting point on the new project.


it starts out pretty rough. Someone had backed into the front of the car and pushed the front end back and into the windshield
my goal was to create a modern looking front bumper with a Touring look to the fiero.
I started with a GS 300 bumper. the detentions of this bumper are nowhere near the fiero detentions so its a long road of cutting and test fitting.
